This was a hike to the top of Mt. Sherman, a 14er, and back. 2100 ft of elevation gain so a lot of cardio. There were some patches of snow I had to hike through, but the snow was firmly packed so I didn't need microspikes. The rocks on the ridge up were frosted and slippery so trekking poles helped provide balance. Sherman is a Class 1 walk-up, but still challenging since you start at ~12000 ft and then are heavy breathing in the thin air to the top. Views from the top were nice.
